 | | Between Old Joe and the Lake, water falls and runs into Sullivan’s Creek from an area bordered by Black Mountain and Crace Hill to the West, Mount Ainslie and Mount Majura to the east. |
 | | It drains from steep slopes, gentle lowlands and open plains, through sheep paddocks and gardens, rubbish dumps and ruins, parks and ovals, across roadways and paths, schoolyards and backyards, over lips, between cracks, around obstacles, into streams to the lowest point. |
 | | When the first wave of public servants moved into Ainslie, when building began on the land designated for the ANU, when the suburbs of Turner and O’Connor were planned, Sullivan’s Creek was still part of the good sheep paddock that Canberra ruined. |
